About this listen

 Auto-generated transcript:The purpose of Deen is to excel in it. Allah SWT said, Allah did not say to differentiate between who is doing evil and who is doing good. No. The question of evil does not arise. It says, in the good, who does the best? So it's very important for us, especially when we are out in the path of Allah SWT, to ensure that we do, whatever we do, to the absolute best of our ability. And obviously it goes without saying that if you want to do something to the best of your ability, then you have to know how to do it. It doesn't come by birth. It doesn't come by enthusiasm alone. Enthusiasm must never be confused for expertise. They're two different things. In battle, for example, you have an experienced warrior, soldier, you have a soldier, you have a soldier, you have a soldier, you've got an enthusiastic one. The enthusiastic one only dies faster. That's all. Right? Nothing else. He'll never win. There's no way that an enthusiastic soldier who does not have the experience is going to beat a true warrior. Enthusiasm means that he will only die faster. So also in Deen. It's very important for us to ensure that we learn. To give you a chance to learn. So we're going to give you one live example which happened just now. It is not a criticism of you. When you decide, when you narrate a hadith after the Salah, what is the correct way of doing that? You're holding a book in your hand. The first thing it starts from is to say, what are you holding in your hand? So stand up there and say, As-Salaam-Alaikum wa Rahmatullah. Because this is our way. We first greet people. As-Salaam. Qabar al-Khalaam. Say As-Salaam-Alaikum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh. This is a hadith from Muntaqab-e-Hadith. And if it's a book which generally people may not know who is the author, say the name of the author. Yusuf Qandawi Rahmatullah Ali. If you're using Ayatul Salihin, you need not say it because we know who the author is. But if you're using a book which most people may not know, say the author. And then you say, Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. Then you say, Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillahi Rabbil Alameen. Wa Salatu wa Salamu Ala Sharifil Anbiya wal Mursaleen. Muhammadur Rasool Allahi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. Or some version of that. And then you come to the hadith. This is our way. This is not simply open the book, start the hadith. No. Salam. Then what are you saying? And start with Bismillah. We start with Bismillah. And then we say, Salatuna Salam wa Rasoola Salam. Then you come to the hadith. Now, these are simple things. But this is what I advise you and myself is that when you go out in Jamaat, my submission is create a course of what every person in the Jamaat should learn, depending on the duration of the Jamaat. If it's the sale of the Jamaat, then something which is fit for three days. If it's a chilla Jamaat, then something for 40 days. If it's a four months, then so on so on. Create a course. Go with the course. Now, the course is not for people to become Muftis. No. You will be surprised. I'll tell you two incidents, real life incidents. We had a group of teenagers who went to with one of our Imams to for Umrah. There they are sitting in a mudhakara and another Alim was with them. He said, who was the wife of Sayyidina Ali bin Abi Talib? They did not know. Can you believe it? Teenagers. All of them, all of them, beards. They were going for Umrah so they obviously concerned God to them. They come from families which come regularly to the Masjid. Who is the wife of Sayyidina Ali bin Abi Talib and they don't know. Another one. One of them. he asked the Imam from where he went, he said, Sheikh, you say Rasool Allah, Rasool Allah, what does that mean? Who asked? The kid. This is a teenager, he's not a kid. Really interesting, seriously. Where is the kid? He's past his bulukh, his baliq. He does not know what Rasool Allah means. The reason I'm saying this to you is not to tell you that the people
